Jim Furyk and his caddie Mike ‘Fluff’ Cowan have parted ways.
With the disappointing news confirmed by Golfweek on Thursday, Cowan is now carrying for PGA Tour player C.T. Pan at the age of 76.
Cowan and Pan are working together for the ninth time this week at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, but the popular looper first began working for Furyk at the 1999 Masters.
The pair won the 2003 US Open together and other highlights included Furyk shooting 58 at the 2016 Travelers Championship. Furyk encouraged Cowan to work for Pan full-time having been blighted with injuries in recent years.
“Love the guy,” Furyk said in a text to Golfweek. “I’m still struggling with injuries and I pushed him to work for C.T. full time.”
“We play for $2 million. They play for $8, $20, $25 million,” Furyk added. “I knew it was a good opportunity for him, and C.T. has been playing pretty good. (Fluff) was hesitant. Because he’s a great person at heart. But I pushed and we both knew it was best for him and his family.”
